Hmm. I have a newer python-numeric (not python-numpy):
I have same pacakge installed:
# rpmquery -i python-numeric
Name : python-numeric Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version : 23.7 Vendor: Scientific Linux
Release : 2.2.2 Build Date: Sun 08 Apr 2007
12:08:22 AM CEST
[...]
# rpmquery -i python-numeric
Name : python-numeric Relocations: (not
relocatable) Version : 23.7 Vendor:
Scientific Linux Release : 2.2.2 Build

but it not fit scipy dependencies.
I *think* that scipy still uses Numpy not Numeric interfaces, though I may
have this backwards...
Removeing python-numpy removes scipy and pyfits
There is no 'python-numpy' package in the sl5 standard repos, since at
least sl52 there has been a 'numpy' package which was version 1.0.4 in
sl52 and 1.2.1 in sl53 and later.
[ We used to build numpy/scipy packages long long ago, which is why I half
remember this ]

numpy is there again :-)
Yes, scipy depends on numpy (not python-numeric or python-numpy)...
I think the confusion is that you had installed a python-numpy which
provides the feature numpy, which scipy wants so unless you have numpy
installed removing python-numpy will need to remove anything that depends
on it (including scipy)...
I see that your package python-numeric-23.1-0.2.el5.rf.x86_64
has rf in the releae. Is it from rpmforge ?
Seems that comes from dag:
python-numpy.x86_64 1.0.1-1.el5.rf dag
http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/python-numpy-1.0.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
*we use local repo replica, but the package is in official dag repo.
You mention python-numpy when the question was about python-numeric :-)
I'd suggest removing the python-numpy and any rf/dag versions of
python-numeric from your repos and do the tests with just the sl5 repos
enabled...
